ACCORDING 10 Mr.. Cleveland's reason
ing the only way 10 prevent the surplus
from piling up Is to do away with the
protective tariff. This sort of statesman
ship is not new or novel, but has been
the real attitude of Democracy in all the
years gone by. Mr.. Cleveland may put
one little fact in his pipe and smoke
the protective tariff is an institution that
has come to stay in this country. If the
Democrats can't revise the tariff and
cut off the increase of the surplus with
out breaking down the barriers Of pro-
lection which has made it possible for the
United States to become a great indus
trial land-why, the Democrats will be
retired and 1t will remain for the Re-
publican party to tackle the surplus
question and tariff revision and settle
them as she has all the other great mat
tiers of vital Importance to the country.

Mr. BLAINE has his turn on the tariff
question to-day The cool, off-hand way
in which the great Maine statesman
handles the matter is in great contrast TO
the measured, chestnutty utterances OF
President Cleveland. The difference is
that Blaine knows what he is talking
about, has been life student of public
affairs and is able to speak from his own
knowledge of causes and effects, while
Cleveland's limited stock of information
is culled from encyclopedias or some
ancient free trade document.

THE RAM BIER.

If some of the well-meaning people
who have antipathies to the Sunday
newspapers and see in them great
amount of evil, should look at the crowd
of good citizens who congregate at the
news stores directly after church Sunday
mornings to await the coming of their ia
vorite paper, the aforesaid well-meaning
persons would give up all thoughts of
confiscating the Sunday papers. There
is no doubt, however, that the matter
some of these Sunday papers contain
makes them unfit to take into house
hold on Sunday-or any other day. There
is no question but that they are got up to
cater to taste which should not be
found in well-kept homes. And, by the
way, there was comical "bull" IN the
Globes "Clara Belle" letter yesterday.
1t was dated from New York, in order
to create the'impression that 1t was tele-
graped from that city, while little ways
down a credit was injected to the Gin
cinnati Enquirer. To the animated it
doubtless seemed strange that the Globe
should employ someone in New York to
do its scissor work.

There are two or three people on Jack
son street who used to have flowing
wells OH their premises. They still have
the wells, but they have stopped flowing
since the city drilled its famous artesian
(P) wells from which the principal out
put at present is sand. The Jackson
street people claim that the boring of the
city wells was the cause of rendering
their flowing wells worthless, and cutting
off their water supply. If such is the
case, the question arises, have they a
case for damages against the city?

Fishing DISPUTE.

Governor Green's recent letter to the
Sturgeon fishermen gives them but
little comfort or satisfaction; nor does
the counsel OF the Association give any
satisfaction. The only way to settle it
in Court viii be to get Delaware to
make an arrest, but AS long as she can
bluff our fishermen of she will never
attempt il nor dots she care to make
an arrest further than TO capture Il
poor mans boat and sell it, thus de-
priying mm of his seasons work. Ma
case were to be taken to the L. ;.
Court, where Delaware is shreWd
enough to not let it 90 if she can get
ont of it, it would probably be years
before it would be settled and the Jer-
sey fishermen would be at an enormous
expense and suffer the present incon-
yenIences. As the Sturgeon fishing
season is about over there viii be no
further dispute on controversy this
year.
